How can I see if the knife I got is the real thing?

Hello there, first time poster here. I was wondering if someone can help me authenticate a ka-bar knife I have? It's been with me for almost seven years now, never brought out ('til now), never used, but I still have no idea whether or not it's authentic of not. I got it from a trade back when I was 14, didn't get any documentation or such. Wishing the pics would show up here. Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks!

Replaced by newer models like the D2 Extreme Fighter.

No problem with a lack of knowledge. That's what Bladeforums is all about - passing on that knowledge. ;)

Again, for all things KaBar, come join us in the KaBar subforum, pull up a log closer to the fire and soak it all in. ;)
 
Welcome! Looks like it could use a light coat of oil and a wipedown and be as good as new.
Stick around.

Thanks for the welcome! Ah, yeah, it's been in storage for seven years haha. Well, main reason why I suddenly had the urge to ask about this knife is because someone is interested in taking it off my hands, and I wouldn't want to relinquish this blade without knowing a bit more about it. Besides, my friend would appreciate this more, since I'm more into eastern blades. But still... I've always loved this knife :D

if I may just ask though... what's a fair price for a knife in this condition?
